    Recorded Delivery is not secure, is not tracked thoughout & is handled with normal mail.
    Special Delivery is handled separately, tracked throughout & is handled like gold by the posties.

    Ps: I would NEVER let my primary ID out of my possession for any reason.
    The response from these solicitors shows why.

    The solicitor will have lost it in the office (happened at my old place all the time) and will be being snotty to hide the fact. The fact that you didn't state you'd enclosed it will count against you, but if you make enough stink they may pay for another one.

    It depends how big the office is- a factory firm will cough up because it's easier.
